The clients wanted a permanent home that would serve as a peaceful retreat for their family—a place that nurtures closeness, relaxation, and a deep connection with nature. Their vision was to create a sanctuary where daily life could unfold gently within a setting that felt both modern and in tune with the outdoors.

To bring this vision to life, the design prioritizes preserving the natural terrain of the mountainous site. The house is elevated to avoid disturbing the existing landscape and trees, allowing natural life to continue undisturbed beneath. This approach creates a strong relationship between the built space and its natural surroundings, offering a unique experience where indoors and outdoors flow into one another.

The sloping site shaped the design strategy. Rather than imposing on the land, the architects used the contours and vegetation to their advantage. The L-shaped plan keeps the structure open on both sides, allowing fresh air to move through the home and directing views outward toward the mountains and sky. This layout not only encourages natural light and ventilation but also enhances the sense of openness and freedom.

Materials such as natural stone and wood help the house blend with its environment, while large glass windows connect the inside to the greenery beyond. Thoughtful placement of gable windows and surrounding trees balances openness with privacy. The result is a warm, inviting home that supports a lifestyle rooted in family bonding, nature, and quiet rejuvenation.
